Thermostae

Maybe.
If the cooling system is working correctly, the only thing the thermostat does is make the engine reach normal operating temp in a short period of time. The engine is designed to run at 190 - 210 degrees as much as possible.
If you leave the thermostat out, it may run cooler, but you will get a check engine light at some point in time if the engine does not reach 190 degrees within 5 or 10 min. And when the check engine light comes on the performance will drop off. And it will use more fuel.

What is the normal operating temperature for a 2003 Chevrolet Impala with 3.4L engine? Mine use to be around 185 to 190 degrees on the gauge inside the vehicle. The gauge now can range from 200 to 220...

The range should be in the temp range of your thermostat within in a few degrees, you probably have a 190 degree thermostat. As the outside (ambient) temp rises it's normal for the engine to run a little hotter 200 degrees is safe with coolant, water boils at 212. Your fans should cycle, so it sounds like your temp sensor is faulty. if you haven't flushed your radiator and changed your thermostat lately, now would be a good time to do so. Hope this helps,

1994 chevy van G20 4.3L runs a little rough and will not heat up to normal range according to the temp guage. during normal around town driving, the gauge gets to 100 degrees and during highway driving...

Firstly if the engine isn't running at it's peak it won't be producing as much heat as usual and secondly an engine rarely runs cooler than usual in average ambient temperatures so it is probable the temperature gauge isn't indicating accurately - this could be a faulty gauge, a faulty instrument voltage regulator, bad connection(s) or bad wiring or a tired sensor. It could possibly mean the sensor bulb isn't in complete intimate contact with the coolant due to a buildup of scale or even combustion gas bubbles from a failing head gasket.

The bike should be running at 180 to 190 degrees. It would be impossible for your bike to be running at 100 degrees. Your body temp is 98.6 degrees. Engines are designed to run at higher temps for better combustion.

Sounds like a stuck thermostat. The thermostat cycles open and closed in order to maintain a temperature range, some cars with very sensitive gauges reflect this opening and closing, but most cars have gauges that are somewhat less responsive in order to keep people from thinking something is wrong. I would defineately replace the thermostat and flush the cooling system, replacing the fluid with fresh.
